"Focusing on the key institutions and complex regimes of regulation, Bruce Doern and Monica Gattinger look at specific regulatory
bodies such as the National Energy Board, the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board, and the Ontario Energy Board. They also
examine the complex systems of rule making that develop as traditional energy regulation interacts and often collides with
environmental and climate change regulation, such as the Kyoto Protocol on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Power Switch
is one of the first accounts in many years of Canada's overall energy regulatory systems."--Jacket

The dynamics of multi-level regulatory governance are ever-changing, not just in a North American context, but in a global
one as well. Rules, Rules, Rules, Rules, clarifies the nature, causes, and dynamics of levels of regulatory governance in,
or affecting, Canada. Edited by G. Bruce Doern and Robert Johnson, this collection makes conceptual and practical contributions
to the debate over what kinds of principles and institutional approaches can resolve the problems of multi-level regulatory
governance. This is the first text to provide an integrated discussion of key politico-institutional issues such as smart
regulation, innovation, social and economic regulatory governance, accountability and transparency in Canada through a study
of the multi-level regulatory interactions that the nation must function within. Rules, Rules, Rules, Rules considers various
sectors where rule-making spans all or most of the four levels of jurisdiction - international, federal, provincial, and city
or local - in areas such as food safety, investment and trade, forestry, drinking water, oil and gas, and emergency management.
A central argument of the collection is that the pressure to merge, collapse or rationalize levels of regulation is mainly
driven by business interests, liberalized trade ideas, and related technological changes. Economic concerns about Canada's
declining productivity compared to the U.S. are also discussed, as are issues of security, terrorism, and core business and
economic concerns in the post-911 era

In this first in-depth examination of the governance of the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in over twenty-five
years, G. Bruce Doern and Richard Levesque show how the agency's history is interwoven with the evolution of Canada's economic
and industrial development and with the fostering of science at Canada's universities, in industry, and within the federal
government. Using a policy and institutional approach, the authors demonstrate the ways in which the NRC has had to simultaneously
absorb significant budgetary and personnel cuts and become, in its own structure and operations, an innovating institution
that helps support and facilitate an innovating Canadian economy - one increasingly characterized by knowledge-based industries.
By reconfiguring itself in terms of its institutional mix of hierarchies, networks, and markets, the NRC has had to confront
and change its own traditions, yet maintain itself as a complex government agency that still values research for its own sake
as a public good

"The past twenty years have seen considerable shifts in 'government science' - that is, in the way the state funds, supports,
regulates, conducts, and uses scientific and technological activity. Focusing on federal labs and agencies, Strategic Science
in the Public Interest explores how these labs have been located within, and often buried by, the larger commercially focused
federal innovation agenda." "Bruce Doern and Jeffrey Kinder examine four labs whose mandates deal with the Alberta oil sands,
environmental technologies, wildlife research, and mining and metals, respectively. The authors use these cases to explain
why a better middle-level approach to analysis is needed for strategic government science that is centred on the public interest."--Jacket

"In the twenty-seventh edition of How Ottawa Spends, leading Canadian scholars examine the Tory agenda in relation to the
changing dynamics of a resurgent Western Canadian power base, Quebec-Canada relations, Canada-U.S. tensions, and key Paul
Martin Liberal policies." "Contributors explore the challenges created by unsustainable promises by both major parties on
expenditures and growth. They also look at the thorny issues of federal procurement policy and ethics, fiscal policy, energy
policy, equalization and energy revenues, cancer control, patent policy and access to emergency medicines, the regulation
of tobacco, gambling, and alcohol, and efforts to review spending." "How Ottawa Spends offers an invaluable analysis of the
priorities of the Harper government in the context of the policies of the defeated Liberal minority government. Book jacket."--Jacket
